Em "A força de olhar amanhã", Césaire reage ás desilusões do mundo pós-colonial. As suas obras:˝La tragedie du roi Christophe˝ (sobre a revolução no Haiti) e ˝Une saison au Congo˝ (sobre Patrice Lumumba), estão entre as pioneiras no alerta sobre os perigos do neo-colonialismo. O antropólogo francês Edgar Morin, o biógrafo Roger Toumson, o escritor Brasileiro Jorge Amado, o novelista Maryse Condé das Antilhas e o escritor Americano Maya Angelou atestam o importante papel que Césaire desempenhou enquanto fundador antepassado do actual desabrochar da literatura da Diáspora Africana.

________________________________


"La force de regarder demain" (The Strength to Face Tomorrow), Césaire responds to the disappointments of the postcolonial world. His plays, La tragedie du roi Christophe (about the Haitian revolution) and Une saison au Congo (about Patrice Lumumba), were among the first to warn of the dangers of neocolonialism. French anthropologist Edgar Morin, biographer Roger Toumson, Brazilian author Jorge Amado, Antillean novelist Maryse Condé and American writer Maya Angelou testify to Césaire's central role as a "founding ancestor" for the current flowering of African Diaspora literature.
